He looks as good as Lane. How did the NHL whiff a round late again. It’s literally like “You guys messed up on Lane, here’s another one of him, let’s see where he goes now…oh…nope, definitely don’t pick him in the first round.”

I was there tonight, he was great at both ends of the ice. Best player of the game for me. Hard to believe that even after Lane has shown what he is that Cole dropped so far in the draft
So impressed with him against Canada today. I liked most of his game against Finland too. Such a talented player and has a better shot than Lane from what I've seen.
His patience is also next level, similar to Lane in that sense.
Both him and Leonard going to Washington will be fun!

I maintain that if Trevor Connelly didn't take that awful penalty and USA won the World U18's last year that basically all those guys on that team would've went higher. The team that wins that tournament tends to see their team have risers (and the teams with a lot of draft prospects that don't win sees their players go the other way).
Disgraceful to me that the mercenary who ruined the Gold Medal for that team didn't see his draft stock drop at all and the players who did good work all year had the mercenary ruin things for them. I'm not in favor of prosecuting Connelly over what happens off the ice (I think people exaggerate that stuff), but I think you're a pretty bad evaluator of bringing in winners to your team when you prioritize a proven loser like that (good job Vegas).

I think he was the best skater on the ice for the Dec31st game by quite a margin.

Led the tournament in points. Had 3+8=11 points in 7 games.
Thought he was the best player at the tournament this year. An absolute creative force. And he defended pretty well. Was very audacious with the types of plays he attempted and looked to be the main protagonist on the ice virtually every shift.
43rd overall. You'd think the NHL community would've realized in June (as if we really needed to see Lane validate it all for a full season this year to believe in it) "well, we totally screwed up Lane's draft position, so we have a re-do and we shouldn't get it wrong by a full round." I regret to inform everyone they did it again (congrats Caps).
A lot of "oops" going around NHL front offices after this tournament.

First dman to ever lead the wjc in scoring. Going to be a big time player. Big whiff by all the scouts.
Future USA team with a possible Hughes/Hughes and Hutson/Hutson double duo?
